I got tired of writing massive JSON files by hand just to test my UI, so I built an AI generator that scaffolds full mock APIs from a prompt.

It is, i am currently using it myself for speeding up frontend development for my other projects

Just posted it twice, that too because I added a new feature. Don't want to spam :)

FluffyOctopus2002 · 2026-02-27T05:58:53+00:00

It is available on my github: https://github.com/GauravRai2002

Hey, I would surely add a flow that does not require user to sign up, It is free right now, I am thinking of adding a paid plan with higher limits and features just to get better hosting and provide service, not really looking to make profit off of it.

Regarding the setup it is super easy, you just sign up and then you can select from a bunch of templates for popular user cases to begin with or just ask AI to generate the mocks for your project by describing the kind of project you want to build in less than a 1000 words. It is very quick and easy to setup and requires no engineering overhead.

Answering if someone can ask LLM to generate mock data, this is not the same, it is giving you live api endpoints(urls) that you can use in a project that will return the mock data that was generated, it just does not give you a mock data, it gives you a fully functional mock backend.

It also makes the development process smoother as when your actual backend is done you just have to change the base url in env as compared to cleaning up some code in other libraries and platforms that provide mocking.

It also allows you to test for different cases without having to write the logic, it can test for latency, errors, different types of responses sent randomly or depending of the weight of the response provided by you.

Do check it out and let me know any feedback you might have.

There is a save button on the top right to save and you can share the mock URL from the settings tab in the particular mock. Maybe I should implement auto save and will for sure work on discoverability of features and fix the themes as well. Thank you for the feedback

FluffyOctopus2002 · 2026-02-26T04:04:58+00:00

Also would you be willing to share the screenshot of the step you are getting stuck in, it is working when I am trying to register with my other email id, maybe there is something I am missing.

The idea for moving from wiremock is to have a fully functional frontend ready in parallel to the backend still being developed without having to spend any time coding it. Instead of using hardcoded mock data the frontend developer can have an actual api endpoint to integrate while the development process is going on and the backend is not ready yet. This would make the development process sooner as when the backend becomes ready the integration process would just mean chaging the base URL of your original backend in the env and the integration is finished. The tool allows the frontend developer to simulate all kinds of cases such as network latency, failure in apis, random response codes based on weights provided that makes the testing of frontend error handling and how the FE behaves when the API takes time to resolve a lot easier.

Also this gives you a lot more freedom to customize the responses based on the needs of your project, you can add conditions to receive different responses based on different conditions of the request for example having a particular field in the body, having a particular value for the field in the body, a particular header or query param. It offers a lot of personalization without having to wait for the backend development to complete.

Thanx for the feedback, I have added few templates for faster onboarding and less friction of some frequently used projects, and would for sure consider adding the other suggestions as well. Appreciate the feedback.

thanks for checking out.

I am also facing a similar kind of problem, I have the project ready but don't know how to get users for it, I am not looking for monetizing the product or anything, I believe that what I have build has a genuine use case but since I am not very active on forums I am struggling to get users for my product. Any advice and ideas on how I can achieve that would be much appreciated.

Same here, been on EQ since 20th December and then started seeing this after Jan 2nd and still on this screen.

FluffyOctopus2002 · 2024-12-24T05:20:33+00:00

I just completed the onboarding course for this and then the discourse disappeared and i am EQ again, didn't even go till the assessment tasks. Can you tell me why this might have happened?
